Santa

I just love this santa. I know he is not in his traditional red suit, but does santa really were his big red suit everyday of the year or only on Christmas eve? He is just the cutest sweetest old man. We have been to see him for the past 6 years. He wears a snowman shirt and striped socks. Owen really likes santa this year because santa also wears "work gloves" like Owen. Perrie is full on believing all the "magic" this year. It is cute. We didnt think we would do the santa thing before we had kids but somehow our hearts have softened to him.

If love could heal you, you would live forever.

Christmas Poem

As one of our advent activities, we wrote some poems. Here is one by Perrie.

Christmas
...smells like warm cinnamon
...sounds like jingled bells
...tastes like homemade lufse (a seasonal norweigan treat)
...feels like a green pine tree
...looks like a bright star
Christmas.
